Welcome to the Blog and News of Alternative Rock Band OPOSIUM

This coming Saturday Oposium duo Richard McLester and Sam Hanson are involved in performing on a more classical stage raising money in aid of the Mayor of Poole's Charities. Mayor of Poole Charles Meachin approached Richard last year to organise a concert which will be taking place at Skinner Street URC church on Saturday 11th July 2009.

Tickets are £10 and include refreshments and a glass of wine. Doors at 7pm.



Headlining the concert is violin supremo Malcolm Evans whose beautiful playing captured the audience when he performed at the Routes To Roots charity concert headlined by Oposium last year.

Extremely talented flautist Becca Ellis will be demonstrating her skills as well as sopranos Charlotte Woods and Hanne Ely. All the musicians will be accompanied by Sam Hanson on piano.

Richard couldn't resist the opportunity to perform on the Oposium Piano (and we know what that means!) and will also be compere for the evening.

For tickets, please call 01202 633200

Oposium join the bill for the next "1" concert in Bournemouth alongside bands Bosh and Tom Whitman on 23rd May 2009. The event is to raise the profile and fundraise for the new I*EAT charity, founded by Jessica Griffiths whose husband Dave Griffiths is the lead singer for Bosh and one of the "1" organisers. The I*EAT charity concert will take place at Strouden Park Chapel in Bournemouth.

Oposium headlined the last "1" event in Winton last month with support from Tom Whitman and are excited to be invited to play again. As this is a charity show, each band will be perform roughly 25 minute sets, and more bands will be confirmed on the lineup nearer to the date.



The I*EAT charity helps primarily people with eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder.
